Summarized Fatawaa
• What is the ruling on combining prayers at the Musala (Place for prayer) of a shopping center because of heavy rain, knowing that some people come from outside that center?
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
If there is hardship in going back to that Musala at the time of Asr or Isha` prayers, then it is permissible to combine prayers (Duhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha`). Kindly consider calling us. And Allah knows best.
• Does touching women temporarily forbidden in marriage nullify ablution ?
It is prohibited to touch, or to shake hands with such women as they are considered strangers, and doing so nullifies ablution.
• Is washing the private part after urinating(Istinjaa`) a condition, and is it done with water and soap, or with water only?
Istinjaa` is obligatory for removing impurity, and it can be done with toilet paper, or a stone, or water. It is preferable to do Istinjaa` first with paper, or stone, or the like, then to wash the private part with water until making sure that the impurity has been removed. Using soap is not a condition, but there is no harm in doing so provided that it is washed off with water. It is also permissible to use either water, or paper if impurity is removed by any.
• How should a woman make up prayers that she missed two days from delivery?
